Lovecraft, The Silver Key “Jung held that the significance of these fantasies was due to the fact that they stemmed from the mythopoeic imagination which was missing in the present rational age. The task of individuation lay in establishing a dialog with the fantasy figures -or contents of the collective unconscious -and integrating them into consciousness. Hence recovering the value of the mythopoeic imagination which has been lost to the modern age, and thereby reconciling the spirit of the time with the spirit of the depth.” -The Red Book</p>http://danieltrocchio.tumblr.com/post/49310247836http://danieltrocchio.tumblr.com/post/49310247836Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:54:41 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9ff2c2dd43246447176a4636cefa2287/tumblr_mlmgojiqXd1r16gpdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://danieltrocchio.tumblr.com/post/48552170443http://danieltrocchio.tumblr.com/post/48552170443Sun, 21 Apr 2013 16:24:19 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6100ad9015d0e97821c61b4ce0d9c853/tumblr_mlbpv03cLO1r16gpdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In all the infinite universe is it “all” creatures that don’t realize that the evil they conceive of only comes from their own “hearts”, before its too late?

The dagger represents the normalizing force and the snake the deviant force. I used a ritual Tibetan dagger as reference -sometimes they are hammered into the ground to represent a sacred protective boundary, which couldn’t have been more appropriate.
